St. Paul Middle School Youth Mission Trip: April 17 – 24, 2017

Join us for a week to remember!

Join us for a one-week service trip to our NPH home in Guatemala. Come experience firsthand how NPH USA transforms the lives of children! You will meet the amazing children, staff, and volunteers of NPH and learn about their daily lives by participating right alongside them. While the children are in school or activities, you will help out around the home (landscaping, helping out on the NPH farm, working in the kitchen, assisting with special needs children, etc.). Relax or hang out with the children in the afternoon-play a soccer game or plan a group activity. In the evening join the children for dinner, help them with their homework, and spend time together. We will coordinate activities with the different age groups throughout the week. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet with the leadership of the NPH home, tour all of the home’s facilities, and hear “talks” from some of the children. Whether you are new to NPH, or a longtime supporter, visiting our homes is the best way to see what we do in action.

Note: NPH USA chaperone will lead and oversee all travelers throughout the duration of the week. All chaperones are background checked, and are experienced volunteers at each of the NPH homes.
